Beautiful spring morning with just a little sprinkle now and then. Temperatures were in the low 40's, high 30's. This was my first run since the marathon, so I mostly just wanted to see how the legs would respond. My hip flexors were just a litle sore, but over all I felt great. I ran into Greg P. and Chad L. on the trail behind the high school. Gradually picked up the pace without any noticeable pain. Just as I was finishing, my calf starting feeling a little tight, but I feeling pretty optimistic that my knee problem is a thing of the past. I'm going to just get back to running six days a week and then build up daily miles and start throwing in a weekly tempo run and a long run on Saturdays. |
